about photography
i am mainly active in "artistic" photography (nature and experimental photography) and i have a present collection of more than 12,000 slides 35 mm, more than 800 slides medium format and about 250,000 digital photos. i use photography commercially by selling existing photos for publications. i also work(ed) for adobe stock (form. fotolia) (de.fotolia.com), panthermedia (www.panthermedia.net), imagebroker (www.imagebroker.net) and waldhaeusl (www.waldhaeusl.com).
since 2003 i'm photographing exclusively digital. there are clearly more advantages than disadvantages. and the technical evolution from the olympus c-1000l (1998) to the now used eos r5 was really impressive. photography now has a new dimension.
in the past years i scanned my slides with a film-scanner and photographed them with a canon r100 to store them digitally (see computer-page). for all the 13,000 slides it took months.
i also made a bad experience with mold: although the slides were not mounted behind glass, a few hundred slides were destroyed by the mold and about 4,000 are affected. there is no hope to save them! if someone made the same experience and has tips or needs some, so contact me.
a small selection of my photographic "masterpieces" can be found at the photo gallery.
astrophotos can be found at the astrophoto gallery.
a list of all published photos, pictures and articles can be found at publicationes.
